ECO-SPILL: Hair-Based Oil Spill Prevention

ECO-SPILL focuses on preventing and cleaning up small, everyday oil spills and leaks in ports and harbors, which are often overlooked. The solution uses mats made from recycled human hair, which can absorb 3-9 times its weight in oil, for hands-off, passive capture. It converts waste into a tool for sustainable water protection, helping local communities and fishermen.
